11. A reservoir containing retrograde gas has a reservoir pressure higher than the dew-point pressure of the gas as evidenced by constant producing gas-oil ratio. The gas is produced through PETROLEUM FLUIDS three stages of separation. The primary separator produces 4187 scf/STB of 0.666 specific gravity gas. Stock-tank oil gravity is 55.2°API. The primary separator is operated at 650 psia and 105°F. The second separator is at 95°F. Calculate the specific gravity of the reservoir gas.
